Kayaking in Greenland – The Greatest Arctic Adventure in Photos

If you are going to kayak anywhere in the world, I would put kayaking in Greenland at the top of your list.

Kayaking holds a strong tradition in Greenland. It was invented by the Inuit of the Arctic for travel and hunting.

Today locals still hunt for their food by Kayak.

Species like the Narwhal whale can only be legally hunted by using a kayak and the brave and skilled hunters head out to the open water to bring home food and much needed Vitamin-C for the entire village to make it through the winter.

Kayaking in Greenland isn't just a fun sport, it is important for survival.

People learn at a very young age how to kayak in Greenland and they even compete in serious competitions showcasing all the different rolls they have mastered.

There is a reason for each roll not only for self-rescue, but for spearing fish while in the water, upside down and all around. Hunters need to know how to brace to catch their prey and get themselves out of a sticky situation.
